Perfumery. It's something I got into a few years ago and has been a real eye-opener into the world of perfumery and our wonderful olfactory senses. Strangely, though I suspect is the case with many other hobbies, there is crossover wit

I remember my mind being blown when I first came across list comprehensions. It was one thing to be able to effectively generate one list from another: Squares = [X*X || X <- [1,2,3,4]]. (This can be read as, Squares equals a list

Does this logic not basically invalidate anything that isn't imperative at a high level that eventually runs on a processor? Like, "why bother writing Haskell? It just gets compiled and ran imperatively." Isn't the whole

That's true, in fact there are a whole bunch of BEAM languages[1]. It's just if OP needs to learn Erlang for their current project, learning Elixir, Gleam, LFE etc... might not be the best use of time. [1]: https://gith

In recent years there has been some improvement with the available tooling with the likes of rebar3[1] and just a few months ago WhatsApp released ELP (Erlang Language Platform)[2] which integrates with your IDE as a language server that pr

I'm not arguing that I think "Invalid name" is a good message here. I don't think it is. But if you're relying on either familiarity or the ability to look it up, then you're still relying on there being a manu

What's an "unclosed group"? And how would I go about finding that out without reading some sort of manual?

This seems rather incomplete. Even if you were to use the cheat sheet to create a role/user and create a policy with a condition there's zero mention of row-level security, or even the 'ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY' stateme
